Chapora Fort

Chapora Fort holds a place in Goa and Portuguese history as well as any ancient Goa tour. Before the fort itself became nothing more than ruins it changed hands on several occasions between the Portuguese and the Marathas. The Portuguese built most India forts in this region and the Chapora Fort is no exception.

Having taken control of Goa, Portugal still faced serious threat and opposition from the Maratha and Muslim rulers.

Chapora fort was built in 1617 in a bid to prevent the challenge from their enemies but in 1684 the Portuguese surrendered the fort to the Marathas.

The local people were unhappy about this and in 1717 the Marathas were forced to withdraw their own troops.

In 1739, though, they took the fort once again but lost control back to the Portuguese in 1741 only for them to completely abandon the fort and leave it to go to ruin in 1892.
